• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Hi, my name is Carel and I also got directed here via Mike's house building thread on the SA 4X4 Community Forum, which I found awesome and commendable!

After a couple of visits, I have a special interest for the historical places in the UK which includes wonderful creations in woodwork.

I am a mechanical engineer and adore handcrafted masterpieces of which woodwork is one of them.

Regards.

Carel.
 
Hi Carel!

And, having made my first trp to South Africa last Easter can I add that I am very jealous of anyone who has the privilege to live in Stellenbosch.

All the best,
Terry.
 
When do I get paid my commission? :)

Welcome again, Carel.
 
Welcome to the forum :)

My background is engineering too. Sheet metal and electrical manufacturing so working with wood in retirement has made a change. I guess I still work in similar ways but there has been plenty of learning. Metal tends to stay the same size after you've made something... wood sometimes has other ideas.

I've only been to SA once driving the garden route from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and back over 2 weeks. look forward to going back sometime.
 
And a welcome from me too. We (or Mike G) seem to have quite a following down there.

I've added your details to our Members Map all of our other SA members are quite some way from you though.
 
Thanks all for the warm welcome! I really look forward to start reading through all the projects and interesting topics.

Mike, when you visit SA again I will hand over the brown envelope! (the commission you see..) :D
